Summary
This application asks the council to approve the details of external lighting at Youngs Industrial Estate in Aldermaston. It is not a new planning application — it is fulfilling a condition attached to an earlier permission (25/00357/FUL) which required the lighting scheme to be agreed before it could go ahead. The site sits within an industrial estate. Aldermaston Court, a historic registered park and garden, is nearby. The lighting scheme could affect the area around this historic park if it is poorly designed, particularly at night. Because this is a condition discharge rather than a new application, there is no physical building work proposed at this stage. The council simply needs to be satisfied that the lighting details are acceptable.
